FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While the 608V5 offers great comfort and impact absorption, it is primarily designed as a trainer for gym activities and court sports rather than long-distance running.

Can I remove the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are removable, making them highly compatible with medical or custom orthotics.

Are the soles non-marking?

Yes, the rubber outsole is specifically designed to be non-marking, making it safe for indoor squash, tennis, or badminton courts.

What is the primary material used?

The upper is constructed from durable leather for lasting support and structural integrity.

How do I clean the white leather?

Use a soft, damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner. Avoid harsh detergents or bleaching agents.

Do these provide good arch support?

The combination of the ABZORB midsole and structured heel provides excellent baseline support, which can be further enhanced by inserting your own orthotic insoles.

Troubleshooting

Insole slipping during movement

Ensure the insole is seated firmly against the heel cup of the shoe; consider using a small amount of double-sided fabric tape if the movement persists.

Difficulty putting on the shoe

Loosen the laces down to the toe box to allow for a wider opening, then tighten incrementally from the bottom up for a secure, custom fit.

Leather feels too stiff

Wear the shoes indoors for short periods with thick socks to help break in the leather upper naturally without causing foot discomfort.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent impact absorption from ABZORB technology
  • Versatile for multiple court sports including tennis and squash
  • Non-marking soles make them safe for indoor gym floors
  • Minimalist interior seam construction prevents blisters
  • Supports custom orthotic inserts

Cons

  • Leather material may require a break-in period
  • Heavier feel compared to modern mesh running trainers
  • Limited to specific colorways

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best fit, remove the factory-provided PU foam insert if you intend to use your own custom orthotics. Ensure the orthotic sits flat against the base of the shoe. For maintenance, wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after use to prevent dirt buildup. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the leather and the integrity of the adhesive. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking over time.
